Ashok Gehlot's reaction
Reacting to Jyotiraditya Scindia's resignation, Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot said in a tweet: "Joining hands with BJP in a time of national crisis speaks volumes about a leaders self-indulgent political ambitions. Especially when the BJP ruining the economy, democratic institutions, social fabric and as well the Judiciary."
He added that "Mr. Scindia has betrayed the trust of the people as well as the ideology. Such people prove they can’t thrive without power. Sooner they leave the better."
"He was not at all sidelined"
In a tweet, Digvijay Singh wrote: "No question he was not at all sidelined. In fact, please ask any Congress Leader from MP particularly from Gwalior Chambal Division and you would come to know nothing moved in this area without his consent in the last 16 months. Sad. But I wish him well under ModiShah Tutelage!"
He added that "...he should replace Amit Shah or Nirmala Seetharaman and knowing his talent he would certainly do a better job than either of them. May he grow under ModiShah Tutelage. Our best wishes to you Maharaj."

A twitter user wrote: "BJP will be emerged strong with Jyotiraditya Scindia's entrance in favor of nationalism." Meanwhile, a user wrote: "For democracy to sustain, we need a strong opposition. The thing about Congress is that it doesn’t make any efforts even when there’s an opportunity. So, yeah Congress is like a butter chicken without butter."
